It does look good but agree it is not correct.
For this reason, i used the single 20mm mount on the back of my Opel Blitz.

That was the one.
We fielded a German Kampfgruppe in 28mm with a company of 13 251 halftracks plus 3 more support 251.
A company of tanks which included 4 panzer 1v, 3 panthers and then a Tiger & a King Tiger.
The last company was 3 platoons of Luftwaffe Field Division, Volksgrenadiers & infantry.

The Germans pushed through the Soviet defences and were then halted by the Soviet armoured counter attack with included a company of T34s with a platoon of SU100s.

A very enjoyable game.

Steve Perry took quite a few pix but not sure where he posted.

Warlord are due to release a plastic King Tiger in the Autumn.
No idea what it will be like, but hope it is better & easier to build than the current resin & white metal kits.
I got the one with added zimmerite, and it does look good now it has been painted, but OMG, what a pain to build.

The 2 track guards/ fenders are a single piece white metal casting and there is very little area to locate & attach to the hull. It was almost impossible to get them perfectly straigh & aligned so that they fit properly. The gun barel was also twisted and bent & the muzzel break looks terrible.

I have not yet built any Puma, although i did paint one for a mate a few months ago.
I did notice the hollow wheels and i plan to fill with milliput when i build mine.
I am planning to build 2 as 234/2 puma and 2 more as 234/1 so will have a lot of wheels to re-profile.

Cheers

Hi all, I am wanting to build 2 of the sdkfz 250/9 Alte to go with my existing 250/1 to make an aufklarung section for my 28mm Panzer Lehr force.

I am going to use the spare turrets to convert 2 of the Bolt Action plastic sdkfz 234/2 Puma into 234/1.
